Hello,

One of my jobs have got a huge log of DSD.RUN_3659_13610 of size 800mb in the &PH& directory.
Can anybody foresee any problem like project corruption or job corruption if I delete this file from unix box manully.

Thanks

Mukund

You can delete the contents of the &PH& directory from UNIX without any adverse effects. This file directory contains the standard output of the background process started by DataStage (the name stands for "PH"antom). It would be best for you to set the purge attributes in the director so that this doesn't happne regularly but in this case you may delete away (in &PH&) to your heart's content.

You might investigate the cause of such a large stdout, so that you can address the cause and avoid its recurrence.

Be careful if this is an NLS project, do not delete the .uvnlsmap file.

Good catch!

Last time I heard, Mukund was in the UK, so might only need NLS to display the correct currency symbol!
